Siege of Takamatsu

The Siege of Takamatsu was a major battle between the Oda and the Mori-Murakami alliance. Hideyoshi Hashiba conducted a campaign in western Honshu against the enemies of daimyo Nobunaga Oda, and although the Kobayakawa and Kikkawa joined the defenders, Hideyoshi was able to build a 3-kilometer bank to flood the castle. When Nobunaga died back in Kyoto, Hideyoshi hurried to get surrender terms and the flooded castle surrendered. Muneharu Shimizu, a general of the Mori and the commander of the garrison, committed seppuku.
